DRF's Horse Racing Playbook for Sunday, July 13, 2025
?q=100)
Daily Racing Form has served as the most trusted source of news and information about the sport since 1894, and moving forward we have decided to provide a free daily playbook – something that both hardcore horseplayers and casual observers can reference to get informed of each day’s action.
12:50 MTH 1st FOOTNOTE (#4, 6-1) has room to improve for a couple of reasons -- the class drop from Maiden Special Weight company to a maiden claimer, and the fact that she is an upgrade candidate after racing off the pace in a race light on early zip, which thus set up well for the speeds (note the bold "S" in DRF pp line); Beyers fit well too. – Kenny Peck | Get PPs for this race
1:24 GP 2nd ADIOS TIPSY (#4, 8-1) has improved her Beyer in every start so right off the bat we don't know where her top is. If all stay in, and we are especially looking at the 2 and 3, then race flow is more than fair. This filly tries this Tapeta for only the second time so we see further improvement there. Regular rider tags along and this filly draws fine. – Scott Ehlers | Get PPs for this race
1:48 MTH 3rd CURIOUS SOUL (#6, 10-1) is a DRF Best Bet (Kenny Peck). | Get PPs for this race
2:52 SAR 5th DOT'S DOLLAR (#4, 6-1) was with the track when wiring main rival AMUNDSON for this tag back in February, but he has held that form while up in class since, and thought he ran particularly well two-and-three starts back when forced to chase and staying gamely; steps back down in class with speed. – Mike Beer | Get PPs for this race
4:10 GP 7th SPATULA (#7, 8-1) is a DRF Best Bet (Scott Ehlers). | Get PPs for this race
4:44 GP 8th BAYERNEE (#6, 8-1) has speed and draws the attack post for the distance. She returns to sprinting and tries this level for the second time. Let us see what this mare can do with an early breather something she hasn't gotten since January when winning at 5-1. – Scott Ehlers | Get PPs for this race
5:10 SAR 8th ALTERED SHOT (#4, 8-1) is at her best when involved early and is likely to be aggressively ridden in this spot as she drops down out of two much tougher spots to make her third start off the claim; she wired a field for twice this price at Keeneland three back, making it three in a row when able to get to the early lead on dirt. – Mike Beer | Get PPs for this race
5:44 SAR 9th SUPERSONIC BLUE (#5, 5-1) is a DRF Best Bet (Mike Beer). | Get PPs for this race
6:33 WO 11th MASON'S GAMBLE (#10, 20-1) is a DRF Best bet (Ron Gierkink). | Get PPs for this race
